Exercise Effect on Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain (NCT02991677)
Exercise Effect on Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain, Peripheral Nerve Fibers
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) continues to be a serious healthcare concern. It is painful, persistent, resistant to conventional pain therapies, and results in long-term suffering and decreased quality of life for many cancer survivors. The role of exercise to decrease CIPN-related neuropathic pain (CIPN-NP) will be investigated, with the goal of identifying the mechanisms associated with this therapeutic approach to manage CIPN-NP.
